Hillary panicked after last year's election results and all that talk about the religious conservative vote, and moved to the right much too soon. Whoever advised her back then was an idiot. She hasn't talked much recently about compromising on abortion, or waved her Bible around, but she's having a hard time striking a winning position on the war.
I'm guessing it was Hideous herself. She has all the politicals instincts of a yeti, but this isn't going to stop her from ruining some poor schlub's life for being within eyesight of Ol'Crusty and the woman within.
